Chapter 329 A girl as blank as a sheet of paper, pursued to the end, will dawn never come?
[You are being hunted by a fake legend!]
Upon seeing the preview information that popped up on the panel, Xiao Yun's face instantly darkened.
More than ten hours have passed since we left Windbreak Harbor.
Driven relentlessly by the deep-sea vortex, the Mirror has traveled nearly a thousand kilometers without stopping.
In fact, the daily refresh rate of the forecast system has already been updated once.
However, the pursuit from behind remained, hanging over their heads like the Sword of Damocles, ready to fall at any moment.
"The other party has methods to counter the system's ability to predict information, making it impossible to foresee complete information."
Xiao Yun's face was extremely ugly.
If the system hadn't specified that the person being hunted was a pseudo-legend, Xiao Yun would have thought that Gu Shen had come in person.
"Even if Gu Shen doesn't come in person, a powerful expert who can fight against the system is still quite difficult to deal with."
Even though the system calls him a "pseudo-legend," he still possesses the power of a true legend.
"I currently only have the eighth sequence. Even if I fully activate the Death Ring and drain all the death power I've accumulated recently, I can only keep Kratu at the legendary rank for ten seconds."
In a battle of this magnitude, ten seconds is the difference between life and death.
Xiao Yun stepped out of the cabin and gazed at the horizon.
In the darkness, light is awakening, about to illuminate the world.
"If I delay for another hour or so until dawn, I can absorb the second twin flower of life and at least advance to the seventh sequence."
Xiao Yun silently estimated in his mind.
With his foundation, a single seventh-rank skill is enough to support Kratu staying at the legendary rank for a few minutes.
If he could recover to the pinnacle of the seventh rank of dual-class, then he would be able to support Kratu in using the power of the legendary rank to complete an entire high-intensity battle.
"Even restoring to the seventh rank of a single profession would be enough to deal with the current situation."
As Xiao Yun was thinking, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist.
The warm liquid quickly soaked through her clothes, which became icy cold from the night sea breeze.
Xiao Yun frowned and grabbed the small hand holding the dagger.
"What are you doing?"
He lowered his head and met the little girl's gaze, a murderous glint flashing in his crimson-gold eyes.
But the little girl's dark eyes remained like a stagnant pool, devoid of any emotion.
"A life for a life. You killed Nicholas, so you should die."
The little girl spoke calmly. Xiao Yun narrowed his eyes and sneered, "What kind of bullshit is this? Who taught you that?"
"That's what everyone says."
"Which great master?"
"Nicholas, in the book, those drinking guys, the fat guy, Awei—"
"What a load of nonsense."
Xiao Yun sighed helplessly, pushed the little girl away with his foot, and pulled out the dagger from his waist.
It was a ceremonial knife that Jing Feiwan had discarded; I don't know where this kid found it.
"I truly didn't mean to harm Nicholas, but I did save you, don't you know? A savior is like a second parent. How can you treat a father like this?"
A thoughtful look flashed in the little girl's eyes. She nodded and said calmly, "I understand, but it doesn't conflict with anything."
"After I kill you, I will commit suicide to atone for my sins, and then we will be even."
"You—never mind."
"9
Xiao Yun was surprised and helplessly tapped her head.
"You may not be a devil, but you must be a madman."
I wonder what's going on in that little head of his that makes this 37-degree body utter such cold words.
Although the little girl's knife strike was sudden, it had almost no effect on Xiao Yun, who was at the pinnacle of the eighth sequence.
While the two were talking, the wounds had already healed.
But this strike left a deep impression on Xiao Yun and made him understand some things.
"This little girl is a blank sheet of paper, a completely blank sheet of paper."
Her indifference and calmness were not due to a lack of emotions, but rather a lack of understanding of what emotions were.
She has the body of a five or six-year-old girl, and may also possess wisdom beyond her apparent age.
But her understanding of the world was completely blank; she knew nothing about how to conduct herself or even the most basic human morality.
"What a nuisance! From now on, I'll just call you Little Troublemaker."
Xiao Yun vigorously rubbed her head, venting his dissatisfaction with the knife he had just stabbed.
"Stop! Xiao Yun, what are you trying to do to my family?!"
Jing Feiwan's furious roar exploded in my ears.
Before Xiao Yun could react, she was already in front of him, snatched the knife from his hand, and pulled Momo behind her like a mother hen.
"You'd hit a child? Are you crazy?!"
Jing Feiwan's face was full of vigilance and anger.
Xiao Yun helplessly shrugged and pointed to the still-wet bloodstains on his waist: "She stabbed me, okay?"
Jing Feiwan was taken aback, then looked at Momo, and then at the blood-stained knife in his hand, his brows furrowing involuntarily.
"MoMo, you can't do things that hurt others, you know? That's wrong."
Jing Feiwan patiently began to educate her, but was interrupted by Xiao Yun's cold voice the next second: "Take her back to the cabin for a talk, she's here."
Seeing Xiao Yun's solemn expression, Jing Feiwan did not hesitate and pulled Momo towards the cabin.
"Be careful. If things get really bad—just sail away in the Wind Boat. Your own safety is the most important thing."
"From my province."
Xiao Yun gave her a gentle smile, but as soon as her figure disappeared from sight, his face instantly darkened.
During the blood pact, he was giving instructions to Eric: "If I can't win in a moment, knock Jing Feiwan unconscious immediately, then pilot the Wind Boat and take her away."
A moment later, a sighing reply came.
"Yes."
The world has returned to calm.
All that remained was the sound of the mirror breaking through the waves, and the old dress of the person in front of him fluttering in the wind.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yun's eyes flashed with realization: "So it's you, sir."
He spoke in a relaxed tone, but Merlin opposite him did not have the smile he had when they first met. Instead, he solemnly removed his hat and gave a gentlemanly bow: "It is an honor to see you again, Your Excellency Xiao Yun."
"Please allow me to introduce myself—Merlin the Prophet, one of the three sages of the Dark Web."
Xiao Yun nodded and sighed softly, "Dark Web Sage, Prophet Mage—that's not surprising."
No wonder it could disrupt the system's predictions; it turns out it used similar methods.
"If that's the case, why didn't they kill me when I was completely unsuspecting at the dock, instead of waiting until now?"
""
"I didn't kill you back then because you were Xiao Yun, but the reason I'm here now is because of the girl you took away."
Merlin calmly explained, and with a wave of his staff, waves more than ten meters high rose from the sea.
Boom boom—
The waves crashed against the mirror, causing the speeding alchemical ship to come to an abrupt stop.
Even after the ship was brought to a stop, the waves continued to crash down on Xiao Yun.
At the same time, Merlin's magical power surged, and countless magical lights blotted out the sky, bringing death.
"What an unethical old man! Is this how Gu Shen taught you all?"
Xiao Yun clicked his tongue, but saw that Merlin showed no shame or anger on his face, and even increased the intensity.
"No amount of ruthlessness is too much when it comes to dealing with you, sir."
"ha----"
Xiao Yun sneered, drew his mithril sword, and his aura surged rapidly.
The tolling of the evening bells echoed in the void, and in the illusory twilight, a colossal siren emerged.
"just!!!"
Klatu roared, his tentacles flailing wildly as he slammed them against the towering waves and magical attacks.
Boom boom boom!
Flames and water exploded together in the air, shattering the tentacles and sending them crashing into the water.
Then, the power of death surged from the eternal slumber, reconnecting the severed tentacles and continuing the battle.
As Xiao Yun donned the title, his aura surged once more. The power of [The End of Twilight] flooded Merlin like a tidal wave, eroding his body and forming a barrier between the two.
"As expected, he's stalling for time—"
Merlin narrowed his eyes.
He performed a divination on the way, and the result showed that Xiao Yun possessed some kind of trump card that could turn the tide of battle.
"If I can hold out until dawn, I will surely lose."
Merlin glanced at the sky, a resolute glint in his eyes.
Originally, it was a plan to be made for the future, but now we can't worry about that anymore.
On the outer shell of the [Mirror], the previously hidden rune array suddenly lit up.
Mirrors floated up and unfolded in the air, reflecting Merlin's figure and revealing the spells he had cast.
Beneath Xiao Yun's feet, a void portal suddenly opened, attempting to devour him.
The place where Xiao Yun was staying instantly turned against him, becoming a hell that would lead to his death.
"Klatul!"
"just!!!"
With a roar, Klatu slammed his fist on the sea, his body leaping into the air and carrying Xiao Yun away from the deck.
In the air, its body curled up into a ball, protecting Xiao Yun inside and blocking countless magical attacks released by Merlin.
Boom boom boom!
Every second, hundreds of spells bombarded Kratu, causing his massive body to shatter like porcelain.
Klatu's body trembled violently, and the death power around him was collapsing.
Xiao Yun's eyes narrowed, and without any hesitation, he poured all his magic power into the Death Ring in his hand.
The white-boned spider lily blooms, and death, pure to the extreme, bestows its blessing upon Keltu.
"just!!!"
Kratu's power ascended to legendary status, his tentacles unleashing a storm of magic that danced wildly in the air.
A pitch-black realm then unfolded, with countless vengeful spirits and skeletal tentacles reaching out to Merlin, attempting to drag him into eternal death.
Just as death was about to touch Merlin, his eyes instantly turned completely black.
Then, in the void surrounding him, streaks of pitch-black lines appeared and disappeared into his body.
In Xiao Yun's perception of the Myriad Manifestations True Understanding, an unimaginable power surged into Merlin's body along these lines, instantly propelling him to the legendary throne.
A dazzling realm unfolds around Merlin.
Amidst a sea of flowers, the radiance of magic illuminates the shadow of death.
"Using this bizarre method, his legendary-level power may last longer than mine."
"At the very least, we must prevent him from receiving energy!"
A resolute glint flashed in Xiao Yun's eyes as he drank a bottle of all-around recovery potion.
The Myriad Manifestations True Solution was operating at full power, and in his eyes, runes crisscrossed.
The world seemed to stand still for a moment.
At that very moment, Xiao Yun noticed the gaps in the black threads.
The mithril sword in his hand rang out, its blazing white light tearing through space with a hissing sound.
"Slash—uh—"
Xiao Yun's sword, which he had swung into the air, suddenly froze in place.
He looked down at the magical blade that had pierced his chest.
Hot blood dripped from the tip of the blade to the ground. Xiao Yun felt as if he were a leaky sack, and the power within him receded like the tide.
"When—"
Splash—
The sound of a magic book closing came from behind me.
Merlin, his magic condensed, caught the spellbook and said calmly, "It's over, Lord Xiao Yun."
"I'm sorry, but it seems the dawn you're waiting for will never arrive."
Xiao Yun remained silent for a moment, then chuckled softly, "As expected of a legendary magician, such amazing magical skills."
Xiao Yun looked up at Merlin himself, scoffed, and gave him the middle finger: "I'll let it go this time, old man. Pass on a message to Gu Shen for me—"
"Fuck him—"
"Oh, my friend, swearing is not a good habit."
Suddenly, a shout accompanied by laughter interrupted him.
Robert descended from the sky and landed beside him: "Besides, it's not time to say your last words yet."
